The Hollywood actor, 63, and the “Blonde” star, 37, appeared relaxed and affectionate during the outing, which sparked renewed interest in their rumoured relationship.

The pair were first linked in February 2025, initially spotted having dinner in London on Valentine’s Day, which was thought to be professional.

However, their recent public appearances suggest something more. On the yacht, the two were seen sitting closely, sharing light moments and wearing matching straw hats.

An insider told Daily Mail that Cruise has been particularly generous towards de Armas. “Tom has been showering Ana with gifts ever since they met,” said the source.

“It started with flowers and books—because she loves reading—and escalated to jewellery and designer clothing.”

Cruise reportedly marked de Armas’s birthday with a celebration in April.

“Probably the biggest gift he has given her is being able to go anywhere in the world at a moment’s notice. She loves to travel,” the insider added.
